Tick Tock

Lake Buena Vista, Florida (CNN)As a family mourns the death of their son, investigators are trying to pinpoint which alligator grabbed the 2-year-old and pulled him into a lagoon near a Walt Disney World hotel.

A dive team found the toddler, Lane Graves, dead on Wednesday. The gator responsible might be dead as well — but authorities aren’t sure yet.

Search teams captured and euthanized at least five alligators as they combed the waters for the boy Tuesday night and Wednesday, officials said.

Forensics teams will try to determine whether one of the alligators already taken from the lake is the one that dragged off the boy, officials said. If not, the search for alligators in the lake will continue.

“We’re going to make certain that we have the alligator that was involved, and that we remove it from the lake,” Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Executive Director Nick Wiley said.

So are they going to kill every single alligator in the area like what they did to that gorilla. Anyway condolence to the family and RIP little boy.
